    Heater Core Question

    its a sad day when your heater core goes out. Which is what happened to my 99 Cobra. In reading the repair manual, it is imperative to disconnect the battery and wait a few minutes before attempting to work with the airbag system (for obvious reasons). When I had the a/c discharged the Tech...

    O2 Sensors

    Error code P0171

    Any way of testing them to find out which one is bad ? If I keep those sensors and put cats back on... I would have to get all new sensors to get the system back to normal, correct ?

    Error code P0171

    Yeah, I forgot to put the year in sorry. It is a 99 cobra. And I suppose I should give a bit o' history on this. I bought the car last year from a dealer (dealer will remain nameless to protect the innocent) (Pfft, ya right!). I had the vehicle inspected before I bought it. results...

    Oil in Coolant

    I just got home from work and the auto parts store. I picked up a compression tester and plan on getting that done tonight. If I have even numbers on all cylinders (or close to even), can I rule out the head gasket ? or will there still be a possibility of a blown gasket ? When I found out...

    Oil in Coolant

    So I pull into my garage, pop the hood to check the oil and other fluids. I look down at my radiator cap and notice a choco color oozing out of it. Smells like oil and coolant mixed. At this point, I'm worried its the head gasket. There wasn't any water in the oil, and it didn't smoke that I...
